WarPig BBQ

HEAD COOK: Dennis Butterworth

COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship

I am the head chef and Pitmaster of WarPig BBQ in Houston Texas. We cook competition BBQ across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We cook over 20 competitions each year ranging from 20 teams to 550 teams. WarPig BBQ is a team comprised of good friends and Army Veterans. We try and cook events that benefit military charities in some way. We have the most unique BBQ pit in the world. Appropriately named the WarPig, it is a 1400lb vertical insulated smoker modeled after an M1A1 battle tank. What makes it even more unique is that it is radio controlled. That\'s right, I can drive it off the trailer and deliver ribs to your location!
